Anns an Iuchar 1969, bha sia millean neach air feadh an t-saoghail a' coimhead gu dl霉th air Niall Armstrong, a' chiad duine a-riamh a chur cas air planaid eile. 'S e misean Apollo 11 agus na c貌ig tursan eile chun na gealaich, aon de na pr貌iseactan as cosgaile a chur riaghaltas sam bith air adhart a-riamh ann an eachdraidh.

Do na daoine saor-thoileach a chaidh ann, bha na tursan seo nas cunnartaich na a bhith air cuairt-cogaidh ann am Bhietnam. Uile gu l猫ir, chaidh 24 gaisgich, cairteal a mhillean m矛le air falbh bhon dachaigh, a' siubhal le earbsa ann an aon einnsean a-mh脿in. Tha am pr貌gram seo ag innse na sgeulachdan nach eil cho aithnichte mu dheidhinn Apollo: na taisgealaidhean a chaidh a dh矛ochuimhneachadh agus na tubaistean a bha a' cur am beatha ann an cunnart.

In July 1969 600 million people around the world watched Neil Armstrong become the first human being to set foot on another planet. Apollo 11's mission and the five moon landings that followed were the most costly and dangerous single expeditions ever undertaken by any government at any time in history.

For those who volunteered for the job, the risk of death was many times greater than a tour of duty in Vietnam. In all, 24 remarkably brave men ventured a quarter-million miles from home, relying on just a single engine. These are the untold stories of Apollo: the rarely remembered breakthroughs and heartbreaking disasters.
